The headlines tell one story. Your wallet tells another. “Inflation is cooling,” the reports declare, but your grocery bill, rent, and utilities haven’t gotten the memo. If anything, the numbers on the receipt seem bolder every month. For traders, that gap between the official narrative and the lived experience isn’t just frustrating, it’s dangerous.
When I was younger, I swam competitively. One of the most valuable lessons that sport taught me wasn’t just about discipline or endurance, it was how to think about time. ...
Everybody’s heard of the Magnificent 7 — AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META, NVDA, TSLA — the rockstars of the modern stock market. Most folks treat these names like they’re sacred relics handed down from the financial gods. And hey, looking at their cumulative returns since IPO, who could blame ‘em? These stocks didn’t just beat the market — they redefined what winning looks like. They’ve printed fortunes, built empires, and made average Joes feel like Warren Buffett… for a while.
You only need to remember three steps: Get paid to maybe buy a stock (by selling puts). This obliges you to buy the stock at an agreed upon strike price between now and the expiration date. Get paid to maybe sell that stock (by selling calls). Once you are assigned the stock you reduce risk by selling call options and collecting premium. Rinse and Repeat.
What makes Relative Strength so compelling is its versatility, its flexibility, and above all — its philosophy. This isn’t just another technical indicator buried inside a charting platform. It’s a lens, a way of thinking that reshapes how traders, portfolio managers, and even corporate executives view performance. At its core, Relative Strength teaches a simple, powerful truth: strength matters — and if you don’t know what’s strong or weak, you’re not trading, you’re guessing.
That brings us to the real question traders are asking: “Why are Bitcoin treasury stocks outperforming and will that last?” That’s exactly what we’re going to unpack. Because the opportunity is real, but so is the risk.
We’re six months deep into 2025 and the S&P 500 is up less than 3.5%. That’s it. After all the headline-chasing, pulse-pounding reversals, and late-night stress sessions watching futures tick red… you’re sitting on a gain that barely keeps up with a savings account. Meanwhile, traders have been whipsawed by the ten-headed beast of macros: sticky inflation, Fed mind games, geopolitical powder kegs, and enough bond market volatility to rattle the teeth out of a risk manager. A.I. stocks soared, oil prices spiked, and the only thing more unpredictable than the markets was the messaging from central banks and Capitol Hill. Bottom line? That’s a lot of stress for just 3.5%. And if you’re not using A.I. to navigate this mess, you’re flying blind in a storm built for machines.

As of 2025, the U.S. Treasury market stands at over $27 trillion in outstanding debt and growing. That’s not just a big number. That’s the largest, most important debt market in the world. Now compare that to the U.S. stock market, which clocks in at a total market capitalization of around $52 trillion. You might think that means stocks dominate the financial system — but you’d be wrong.
You want moonshots? Fine. But don’t you dare ignore the turbulence on the way up. Bitcoin isn’t a steady dividend stock. It doesn’t walk. It lunges, leaps, and sometimes crashes through the floor before clawing its way back to all-time highs. That’s where most retail traders curl up into the fetal position. But the smart ones? They smell blood in the water. Because volatility doesn’t just create fear — it creates premium. And premium is the fuel of a covered call strategy.
